Do children acquire the language by imitation?
Does learning a language involve learning a set of rules?
Does correcting children’s errors assist their language learning?

- How do children produce novel utterances?
- Why do children generalize some of the grammatical rules as the plural “s”, the past tense “ed”?
- Why do children generate some ungrammatical sentences in forming negation and question?
- What aspects of language do children acquire by imitation?

Speech comprehension and production and imitation
Speech Comprehension Speech Production
The process of decoding the speech signal in order to understand the spoken message. This process involves complex physiological and psychological mechanisms. (McAllister, 2003, p. 177)
The process of encoding the intended message into a linguistic form by involving complex physiological and psychological mechanisms. (Hickok, 2012)

“Abstract rules cannot be imitated for the simple reason that they don’t exist in the physical world.”

children may learn the stage of pronouncing sounds and words by imitation
![Page 10: Imitation, rule learning, and correction](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061414/558bf824d8b42ac61d8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Does learning a language involve learning a set of rules?
Rule learning
![Page 11: Imitation, rule learning, and correction](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061414/558bf824d8b42ac61d8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“The person who has acquired knowledge of a language has internalized a system of rules that relate sound and meaning in a particular way.”
(Chomsky, 1972, p.26)
![Page 12: Imitation, rule learning, and correction](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061414/558bf824d8b42ac61d8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
"these rules are so powerful that they strongly control the child’s output.”
![Page 13: Imitation, rule learning, and correction](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061414/558bf824d8b42ac61d8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Plural ‘s’
![Page 14: Imitation, rule learning, and correction](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061414/558bf824d8b42ac61d8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Past tense ‘ed’
We holded rabbits.
(Onnis, Roberts & Chater, 2002)
![Page 15: Imitation, rule learning, and correction](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061414/558bf824d8b42ac61d8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Past tense ‘ed’
Suzy: Don’t make me lost it. Father: No, don’t make me lose it. Suzy: No, not lose … losed !
![Page 16: Imitation, rule learning, and correction](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061414/558bf824d8b42ac61d8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
“The children typically slip and lose some of the earlier learned irregular forms.”
![Page 17: Imitation, rule learning, and correction](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061414/558bf824d8b42ac61d8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Negation
No heavy

Yes/ No question
Is I can do that? Is you should eat the apple?
These sentences are formed on the basis of sentences like:
Is uncle getting dinner ready? Is daddy staying out tonight?
![Page 19: Imitation, rule learning, and correction](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061414/558bf824d8b42ac61d8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Does correcting children’s mistakes assist their language learning?
The frequent futility of correction
![Page 20: Imitation, rule learning, and correction](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061414/558bf824d8b42ac61d8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Child: Want other one spoon, Daddy. Father: you mean, you want the other spoon. Child: yes, I want other one spoon, please Daddy. Father: Can you say “the other spoon”? Child: Other … one … spoon. Father: Say “other”. Child: Other. Father: “Spoon”. Child: Spoon. Father: “Other spoon”. Child: Other spoon. Now, give me other one
spoon.
The frequent futility of correction
![Page 21: Imitation, rule learning, and correction](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061414/558bf824d8b42ac61d8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Correction of children speech typically takes the form of a corrected repetition of the child’s utterance.
When parents try to correct their children’s speech, the results are often fruitless and frustrating.
The frequent futility of correction
![Page 22: Imitation, rule learning, and correction](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061414/558bf824d8b42ac61d8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
It’s quite a burden for a child to correct some mistakes because s/he has to:1. Note the difference between her own
utterances with that of her parents.
2. Determine what the nature of the error is.
3. Figure out a way to permanently change her grammar or strategies so that it yields the parents utterances in the future.
The frequent futility of correction

This is not the case with older children who will be able to correct their mistakes.
